WCCC Library: APA Citation Format Guide
Note: This is an abbreviated style guide, based on the types of items you will most likely be
citing for your research. A more detailed explanation of source documentation can be found in
the APA Manual, available in the Reserve collection behind the Circulation Desk in the library.
The WCCC Library also has a space on its website dedicated to APA information:
http://warren.libguides.com/APA2
Remember:
1. The References list must be on a separate sheet from the text of your paper, and it should be
double spaced. Center the title “References” at the top of the paper without the quotation marks
and with no underlining or bolded text.
2. Alphabetize all types of sources in one list by the first word of the citation (other than the, a,
or an).
3. For long works such as books or journals, titles must be italicized. The titles of shorter works
such as journal articles or essays should not be italicized, underlined, or put in quotes.
4. Include only those sources that you cited in the text of your paper.
5. Capitalize all major words in journal titles. For all other titles (books, journal articles, and
web pages), capitalize only the first letter of the first word in the title and subtitle, the first word
after any punctuation, and proper names.
6. When preparing your Reference page, you must double space all entries and use the hanging
indent.
7. For in-text citations, place the parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence(s) where the
source is used. Place the sentence’s end punctuation after the final parenthesis.
